Patent EP-1265294-A3 (EP)
Inventor: AOKI SHIGETAKA
IPC: H01L29/737
Filed: 2002-02-07
Abstract: A SiGe-HBT is provided with a SiGe film and a Si film
grown in succession by epitaxial growth. The SiGe film is
made up of a SiGe buffer layer, a SiGe graded composition
layer, and a SiGe upper layer, in which the Ge content is
substantially constant or changes not more than that of the
SiGe graded composition layer. Even if there are
fluctuations in the position of the EB junction, the EB
junction is positioned in a portion of the SiGe upper layer,
so fluctuations in the Ge content in the EB junction can be
inhibited, and a stable high current amplification factor
can be obtained. It is also possible to provide a SiGeC
film instead of the SiGe film.

Abstract: A plant controller controls a plant modeled in a discrete-time system.
The controller uses a frequency-shaping response-designating control
algorithm having a filtering function to cause a difference between output
of the plant and a target value to converge. Thus, the plant is robustly
controlled without causing undesired frequency components. When the
plant is an engine, the engine is modeled using a ignition timing corrective
quantity as input and a rotational speed as output. The controller
performs the frequency-shaping response-designating control algorithm to
determine the ignition timing corrective quantity. The frequency-shaping
response-designating control may be frequency-shaping sliding-mode
control. In one embodiment, the control input into the plant may includes
a corrective term for stabilizing an internal variable of the filter, a
corrective term for stabilizing the difference between the output of the
plant and the target value and a corrective term that varies depending on a
switching function.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a beamforming method for smart
antenna arrays. Smart antennas employ arrays of low gain antennas
connected to a combining/beamforming network. Smart antennas can
provide enhanced coverage through range extension, hole filling and
improved building penetration. By improving transmission and reception
at the base station, the tolerable path losses can be increased whereby the
range of the base station can be improved. A first aspect of the invention
addresses the feedback signalling technique presently being considered
by standards bodies for four antennas in large arrays. The invention is
suitable for CDMA wireless cellular systems, as presently determined for
third generation cellular wireless networks, and other wireless systems
such as TDMA systems and wireless LANs.

Abstract: In recording on a second or deeper information recording
layer of an optical information record medium (28) having a plurality of
recording layers, power of a recording laser beam is appropriately
controlled even when quantity of transmitting beam is changed
depending on recording states of information recording layers
positioned on the incidence side of the information recording layer
in which information is to be recorded. 
     The optical information record medium is provided with
recording power test areas respectively in the second and deeper
information recording layers, separately from user data recording
areas. Those recording power test areas are used for testing a
recording power of the recording laser beam. Further, before
recording on a user data recording area in a second or deeper
information recording layer, the recording power test area in the
recording layer in question is used to test the recording power, to
obtain a reference power and a level of a return beam at that time.
Then, in recording on an arbitrary location in the user data area of
the recording layer in question, the optimum recording power for the
mentioned arbitrary location is calculated using a level of a return
beam detected in recording on a location in the neighborhood of the
mentioned arbitrary location, the reference power obtained in the
test of the recording power, and the level of the return beam
obtained at that time. The power of the recording laser beam is
controlled such that recording on the mentioned arbitrary location is
performed with that optimum recording power.

Abstract: An air conditioning device is arranged such that
an output voltage from a commercial power source is
converted into a direct current by a rectifying circuit
and a smoothing condenser, and thereafter, it is
further converted into an AC voltage having a variable
frequency by an inverter under the control of a
microcomputer, thereby supplying it to a power
compressor. Between the rectifying circuit and the
smoothing condenser, provided is an active filter for
shaping an input current to be an approximate sine wave
almost in phase with an input voltage by switching a
power transistor. The switching control section and
the microcomputer for controlling the switching are
activated independently by separately provided power
sources. The switching control section supplies a high
level signal when the active filter is a normal
condition, while supplies a low level signal when the
active filter is abnormal. A circuit which generates a
low level signal when the power supply to the switching
control section is shut off is provided. This enables
the microcomputer to determine the occurrence of
abnormality in the active filter or the switching
control section even when the power supply is shut off.

Abstract: A radar performs accurate and appropriate pairing even if
peaks of approximately identical signal intensities or even if a
plurality of peak groups having identical representative beam
bearings exist in the frequency spectrum. First, the peak
frequency of a peak which appears in the frequency spectrum is
determined for each of an up-modulating interval and a down-modulating
interval in predetermined beam bearings, and signal-intensity
profiles in the beam bearings are extracted with
regard to a plurality of beam portions which are adjacent to the
beam bearings. Next, the correlation level between the signal-intensity
profiles at the up-modulating interval and the down-modulating
interval is determined, and pairing is performed in
sequence starting from the profiles having a higher correlation
level.
